Outside the cold palace, Zhang Zixing paced repeatedly and finally walked in.
In the huge cold palace, there were only two people, Daji and her personal maid, Gun Tzu. However, Gun Tzu's true identity was a member of Tianying, whose purpose was to monitor Daji.
When Daji saw Zhang Zixing, she showed a look of surprise, made a big salute, and said: "See, Your Majesty, I am a concubine who has been punished for sin, how dare you do me a favor?"
Zhang Zixing helped Daji up and glanced at Gunzan, who quickly said goodbye and left.
Zhang Zixing sat down on the wooden bed, and Daji showed a faint look of sadness: "Your Majesty has been busy with government affairs recently, and finally remembered that I am here."
Zhang Zixing looked at the extremely crude facilities in the Leng Palace, which were completely different from the previous Shouxian Palace, and sighed: "Daji, you have suffered these days."
This sigh is somewhat sincere. After all, Daji voluntarily gave up her position as queen and came to the cold palace that day. Although Zhang Zixing still doesn't know the true meaning of her doing this, he has to admit that Daji's doing this has a great impact on her.
It was indeed of great benefit to him.
Ji Fa's "Essentials to the Princes" was the most beneficial response to the move of sending Daji into the cold palace. Originally, he was indulging in women and neglecting government affairs, which was what he was criticized for before. However, Zhang Zixing's "Essentials to Rebellion"
"", the original "fault" was pushed onto Daji, and he used this to show his determination to change his mind and revive Chao Gang. However, from the perspective of this matter alone, it was quite unfair to Daji.
When Daji heard Zhang Zixing's words of concern, she looked moved, shook her head and said: "Your Majesty..."
For some reason, Zhang Zixing suddenly felt that the words "Your Majesty" came out of her mouth, which was very harsh. He gently held her hand and said half-truthfully: "Daji, have you forgotten? You should be called husband..."
Daji's eyes were a little red and she said softly: "Husband..."
Zhang Zixing felt a little inexplicable. After taking a few deep breaths, he became a lot more rational. He held Daji in his arms, gently stroked her hair, and felt that under the two plump nephrites on her chest,
My heart was beating really hard.
Daji leaned in his arms and whispered: "Husband, although this place is simple and simple, it is better than pure. I have nothing to do on weekdays, and I practice the mental method that my husband received carefully, and I have achieved some success."
Zhang Zixing had long seen that Daji's cultivation had improved a lot, and he looked pleased, nodded, and said: "Daji, I'm sorry for you..."
He told the contents about Daji in "The Message to Combat Rebellion". Anyway, this Message has been spread all over the world, and Daji will know about it sooner or later. Perhaps, she knew it early on. Daji listened to him quietly, shook her head and said:
"Husband, you don't have to worry so much. You should know that I am..."
When Daji said this, she suddenly paused as if she had realized something: "I was originally the daughter of a guilty minister. My father betrayed Your Majesty and took refuge in Xiqi's traitorous ministers. I am guilty of an unforgivable crime. Thanks to Your Majesty for not abandoning me and protecting my position as Queen, I will continue to do so."
How can you harm your husband's great cause for your own selfish desires? I just hope that my husband can come here to see me when he has free time, and that is enough for me."
Zhang Zixing sighed secretly and hugged Daji tightly: "The war in the Western Zhou Dynasty was urgent the day before yesterday, so I had no time to come here. I will come here to visit you more often in the future."
Daji said "hmm" and closed her eyes. The two of them hugged each other, but there was silence for a while. They seemed to be in harmony and each seemed to be thinking.
"Husband, you really don't think that I am..." After a long time, Daji suddenly said something. Looking at Zhang Zixing's bright eyes, the second half of the sentence changed to: "You don't think that I am someone to be punished?"
Zhang Zixing was stunned and nodded: "Whether you are a queen, a concubine who has been banished to the cold palace, or...anything else, you are still my wife and will never change in this life."
"Husband, you... are so kind." A strange light flashed in Daji's beautiful eyes, she bit her lip, her eyebrows were affectionate, her cheeks were burning, and her body was gently rubbing in his arms. Zhang Zixing saw Daji's affection, and stretched out his hand to enter her.
Exploring inside the robe, Daji exhaled like blue and took the initiative to kiss. The two people's lips and tongues met. Original desire arose in Zhang Zixing's heart. He simply let go of scruples and suppression and cooperated wholeheartedly. When his strong desire entered that
When she touched the warm and tight place that she had not seen for a long time, Daji let out a satisfied moan, and there was a crystal light in the corner of her eyes.
Daji had lived in the cold palace for a long time, but now that the long drought was met by the rain, she seemed particularly emotional, and the spring tide was surging, and she tried her best to pursue her. She had wanted to die many times, but she would not give up. The two were extremely entangled, and it was not until ten o'clock in the morning that the clouds stopped and the rain stopped.
In the darkness, Zhang Zixing looked at Daji who had climaxed several times and was sleeping soundly. He sighed softly and felt that the spirit of the demon spirit was more abundant than ever before. However, his heart was still heavy. Daji was like this.
His behavior over a period of time made it impossible for him to ignore it, but was this an occasional discovery of her conscience? Or was it a special method?
Although today's Daji is very different from the original work of Fengshen, she has always been an undercover agent sent by the Empress Nuwa. Among the three Xuanyuan demons, the Pipa Jing borrowed Jiang Ziya's knife to return to her original form, and the Nine-Headed Pheasant Jing and Kong Xuan
The entanglement was not over, so he chose to end it on his own, and was imprisoned in the green bead for life, with no way to escape. Originally, Zhang Zixing could only be wary of Daji. Even when he was happy, he never relaxed his vigilance. As for those deep affections, they were just imaginary.
.
But as Daji's incredible feelings for "Xiaoyaozi" gradually became clear, and a series of subsequent behaviors such as living in the cold palace, Zhang Zixing's heart wavered for the first time in dealing with Daji.
Impress her with your true feelings? Then show her your cards and confess everything? Make her completely break away from Nuwa's control and stand on your own side?
But this impulse was only fleeting in Zhang Zixing's heart: the current situation is delicate, many well-planned hidden arrangements are about to be launched one by one, and there must be no negligence. You know, he is not just a woman like Daji, Jiang Wenqiang,
The fates of Shang Qingjun, Han Zhixian, Long Ji...these beloved women are closely related to him. If he is not careful, he may lose everything, which will implicate them.
Daji has a special status and is in awe of Nuwa. Even if she is shaken, there is no guarantee that she will have the courage and determination to resist Nuwa. If she confesses everything rashly, the consequences will be disastrous. This is a critical moment.
Zhang Zixing cannot afford to take this risk.
Zhang Zixing suddenly remembered what she said to Daji at that time: If the love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night? If she is really willing to let go of everything, time is not a problem.
After Zhang Zixing thought about this, he became firm. He gently stroked Daji's hair, kissed her on the forehead, covered her with a quilt, walked out of bed lightly, put on her clothes, and turned to leave.
Not far after he walked, Daji's eyes suddenly opened and she watched quietly as his back completely disappeared into the darkness behind the door. After a long time, she slowly closed them.
One month later.
Xiqi, the meeting hall.
King Wu Jifa sat on the throne, beside Jiang Ziya who had taken off his mask, and started to sort out the ministers.
Ji Fa was receiving an envoy sent by Eshun, who proclaimed himself Nan Bohou. The envoy's right arm was empty, but he actually had an arm, and his identity surprised everyone in Xiqi - the former Great Shang Dafu, Yang
appoint.
Yang Ren came as an envoy in his capacity as the Prime Minister of Nanbohou. He came to Xiqi mainly to transport supplies. In addition to some military rations, the house transported from Nandi this time also contained some weapons and ordnance.
Ji Fa asked Yang Ren to take a seat, and Jiang Ziya smiled and said: "Prime Minister Yang, things are unpredictable. I didn't expect that we would meet again in such an identity today. It is really disappointing."
Yang Ren sighed: "Prime Minister Jiang, I don't need to mention the past. It's fate, no matter what, now you and I are our own masters. We can only do our best to repay the kindness of knowing and encountering you."
Ji Fa praised: "I heard that Prime Minister Yang is very popular with each other in Nanjun. He has already made a lot of achievements not long after he took office and won the trust of Uncle E Xian and everyone in Nan County. I really envy Uncle E Xian for being able to get Prime Minister Yang like this.
Great talent! I can only lament that Zi Zhou didn’t know how to cherish it back then..."
When Yang Ren heard Ji Fa mention that he was expelled by the emperor with his arm broken, the look of hatred on his face flashed away, and he said: "How could Yang be so virtuous, and how could he be so highly praised by the king? As for what happened back then... this is all due to fate.
, I don’t want to mention it again.”
Jiang Ziya nodded and said: "Prime Minister Yang is too modest. I heard that Prime Minister Yang had already solved the food shortage crisis in Nan County not long after he took office, and then admonished Nan Bohou to allocate land to the officials and implement benevolent policies for the people. He is highly praised by everyone.
He also set up a recruitment list to recruit talents from the south, so that people from all over the world came to invest and annexed the land of Zhao, Wang and Zeng. Now that the princes of the south have been subdued and the power of Nanbohou has been restored, the prime minister is the first to take the lead."
There was Ji Fa's younger brother. The doctor Ji Du sneered and said: "When Yang Cheng was appointed as the doctor in Chaoge, he was famous for his direct advice and was often appreciated by the emperor. Regarding the rebellion between Yue Wang Qi and E Chongyu, there are also
He heard that the Prime Minister advised the Emperor not to grant Suhou the position of Beihou, and suggested that the Emperor favor Daji and abolish the state. In the end, Longyan was angry, and was expelled with his arm broken. Unexpectedly, Nanbohou Eshun did not care about it.
It's my father's old evil, and I'm willing to take it into your care. Now that the emperor has finally deposed Daji, revitalized the imperial court, and with the loyalty of Prime Minister Yang, why don't you go to Chaoge to repay your service?"
Yang Ren heard the sarcasm in Ji Du's words, his expression changed with consternation, he stood up and said to Ji Fa: "Your Majesty, I was ordered by Nan Bohou to escort supplies to help Xiqi, but I don't want to be treated like this.
What a disgrace! This time, my mission has been completed, so I bid farewell to the king!"
Ji Fa glared at Ji Du fiercely and shouted: "Fifth brother, don't be rude! As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost, and a good minister chooses his master to work. Prime Minister Yang abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and devoted his heart and wisdom to the whole Nanjun.
"My loyalty and talent are unparalleled in the world. How can my fifth brother be so suspicious? Why don't you back down from me?"
Ji Du was always afraid of his brother Ji Fa. When he saw him angry, he did not dare to say anything and quickly retreated. After Ji Fa scolded Ji Du,
He said kindly to Yang Ren: "Ji Du has always been impetuous and rude. Don't take offense to Prime Minister Yang. Prime Minister Yang led his people to come all the way and worked hard all the way. Please rest in the post house first. In the evening, the lonely king will hold a banquet. I think he will
The Prime Minister washes his hands and apologizes for today's rude behavior. I also ask the Prime Minister not to refuse."
When Yang Ren saw that Ji Fa was still treating him with such respect as King Wu, his anger subsided for the most part: "Since the king has an order, how can I dare to refuse?"
After Yang Ren left, Ji Fa dismissed everyone but kept several important ministers.
Ji Fa asked: "What do the ministers think of Yang Ren?"
The ministers were silent for a while, and San Yisheng thought for a while, and then spoke first: "I heard that Yang Ren is a fierce man, and when I saw him today, he was indeed not bad at all. Because of this, the steel was very easy to break, which angered the emperor, and ended up with his arm broken.
Zhu. With Yang Ren's temperament, he must have been disillusioned with the great merchants, so he defected to Nanjun and tried his best to serve us. Although this man has a strong speech, his talents are extraordinary. If the king can make him return to his heart, he can serve us in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
, it must be as powerful as a tiger."
Huang Feihu muttered: "I have worked with Yang Ren for many years. Yang Ren is upright and loyal. Back then, he faced heavy troops and rebuked E Chongyu without any fear. Such loyal people will be tortured even if they are punished."
He should not join forces with Nanbohou Eshun, but there is something fishy about it."
Su Hu and Huang Feihu had always been at odds with each other and retorted: "King Wu Cheng is different. Although Yang Ren is a loyal and loyal man, the emperor's actions in recent years have really made everyone in Chaoge feel cold. During this period, Yang Ren made many loyal remarks, but was rejected by the emperor.
I was disgusted, and eventually ended up with a broken arm and expulsion. Therefore, Yang Rencai left angrily, determined to develop his talents again. This is the king betraying the minister, not the minister betraying the king. I feel this way, not only me, when King Wu Cheng left Chaoge, I must have
I feel the same way, so why do you question Yang Ren?"
Huang Feihu said angrily: "The person Yang Ren admonished that day was to prevent the emperor from granting you the position of Dingbeihou! And Daji, who caused trouble in Chao Gang, is also your biological daughter. How can you still have the nerve to mention this matter?"
Come on, Yang Ren is very discerning. If the emperor had accepted the advice back then, I'm afraid Suhou would still be holding the position of abbot at Chao Ge Kong!"
When Su Hu saw Huang Feihu exposing his shortcomings in front of everyone, he was also furious. They started to argue until Ji Fa scolded him before he stopped talking.
Jiang Ziya said: "Don't argue anymore. According to reports from Bibu spies, Yang Ren did not seek refuge with Eshun after he was expelled. Instead, he was taken in by a small prince in the south, but he was not allowed to reuse him. It can be said that his talent was not appreciated.
Later, these princes were annexed by others, and there were many twists and turns before they were put under the command of E Shun. E Shun originally had great distrust of Yang Ren. After several twists and turns, he appointed Yang Ren as a doctor to take charge of internal affairs. After Yang Ren took office,
He immediately displayed his outstanding talents and made outstanding achievements. After Eshun was defeated by Deng Jiugong, he retreated to Nanjun. The princes in the south tried to take advantage of the situation, and the situation was extremely unfavorable. But with the help of Yang Ren, Nanjun finally attacked
The enemy was driven back. At this time, Eshun just re-employed Yang Ren, and as expected, Nanjun was managed in an orderly manner, and the army's combat strength was quickly restored. Today, there was news from the neighboring army that the Southern Army was secretly building a strange armor. This kind of armor
Its defensive power is extremely strong, and it is also on top of our army's newly made ring armor, which is what Yang Ren dedicated to Eshun!"
When Ji Fa heard Jiang Ziya's last sentence, he thought of the strange equipment used by the Shang army to defeat his own ace army's heavy cavalry. He was greatly moved and asked hurriedly: "Father, in your opinion, can this Yang Ren... be an orphan?"
